Learn About Mexico in a Bottle

Mezcal: Mexico in a Bottle was founded in 2014 by Susan Coss and Max Garrone who also write Mezcalistas. We were inspired to create a grand mezcal tasting partially because we just love mezcal; if you read our blog you already know that, if not it’s time to get started because we’re serious evangelists. We’ve hosted tastings since we started Mezcalistas in 2012, everything from large 1,000 person tastings at Lucha Libre wrestling matches to intimate six person tastings paired with dinners.

But Mexico in a Bottle is our main tasting ranging in size between 200-400 people in cities across the United States. In 2017 we expanded to Washington, D.C.. In 2018 we expanded to San Diego and New York City. In 2019 we will also be in Denver. Since mezcal simply cannot be contained we also organize Mezcal Week, a truly global celebration of everything mezcal which occurs in the second week of November.
